JNF Playing Role
In Development
Of Tourist Complex
Israel has embarked on a
$20 million tourism development complex at the Sea of
Galilee and the Jewish National Fund is playing a
major role in its development. This area will offer
vacationers and tourists a
fresh water lakeside
bonanza of recreational
oportunities such as motel
accommodations, camping
grounds, water sports facilities, lakeside park and
bathing beaches, restaurants and a four-star hotel.
Advance JNF land and infrastructure preparations
'are in progress at the site
known as Amnun Bay, which
spans 580 acres of Galilee
coastline. When, completed,
Amnun Bay recreational
facilities will accommodate
some 1750 guests and service
a targeted 5000 daily visitors.
Eight Galilee villages,
three kibbutzim and five
moshavim will jointly
administer the projected
services. When fully operational, it will employ 200 inhabitants from the shareholding village, kibbutzim
and moshavim and will provide as much as 30 percent of
their tptal income.
Amnun Bay is the single,
largest land development
project ever undertaken in
the Galilee. The Jewish National Fund's preparation of
the land and partnership
with the Tourism Ministry's
Development Authority and
the Jewish Agency will
economically strengthen the
Galilee region.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —A
Soviet consular delegation ..
met briefly with Foreign
Ministry officials here last
week, insisting the visit to Israel, the first in 20 years by
an official Soviet group, was
technical and without political significance.
Yaacov Aviad, head of the
Foreign Ministry's consular
division, the senior Israeli to
meet with the visitors from
Moscow, described their discussion as "extremely positive" and "a good beginning."
Aviad declined to respond
to suggestions by reporters
that the three-man Soviet
mission, accompanied by
staff, seemed too large for
the stated purpose of their
visit—to review the status of
Soviet nationals and Soviet
property in Israel.
Thie leader of the Soviet
delegation, Yevgeny Anti-
pov, who heads the consular
department of the Soviet
Foreign Ministry, showed no
disinclination to speak to Israeli reporters."
After his meeting at the
Foreign Ministry, Antipov,
told reporters a reciprocal
visit to Moscow by an Israeli
delegation was precluded because there are no Israeli na
tionals or Israeli property in
the USSR.
Antipov scolded Israel for
extending citizenship to So-
